This is Canma's mother, Vera Neuyan. I've actually had this image in my mind of her for a very long time. Years ago, she was going to be wearing a white kimono and use a katana. But then, after my time in England last semester, I heard about the Celtics, and thought they'd make a good inspiration for characters. Hence, why she's transformed this way. The kimono became a white cloak, and the katana became a sword. However, the hair stayed the same, and that's more or less the only truly Japanese-ish thing left.

I also went around and experimented with effects like fog and snow in this picture, and I'm very pleased with the result. Tell me what you think, cause this stuff here is pretty much virgin territory for me.
